A raglan blouse with chevron lace body and stockinette stitch upper part, knit in the round. The chevron lace is knit over 24 stitches, a total of 8 rapports. The transition from the chevron to the stockinette - k2tog eight times per rapport, but yo only three (instead of 8). The sleeves are knit separately for the garter stitch part (2.5 mm needle), then inserted into the body, with raglan decreases every other row. Tried something new - left live the stitches under the arms and grafted them afterwords - neat! The garter stitch neckband is knit with 2.5 mm and then 2 mm needles for the last 6 rows.
